Synopsis

God has always made a way for mankind. It's His nature. But many times we have to make the way ourselves. It's not until we realize that we really don't know what to do that we are able to hear God's voice. That'swhen He says, "Why don't we try this My Way?" God Will Make A Way is an approach to solving specific problems, but more than that, it's a new approach to life itself. Drs. Cloud and Townsend introduce "ten life principles" and then demonstrate how eighteen real-world dilemmas are solved by their application. The book concludes with a plan to encourage each reader to develop a personal strategy for using these principles to bring about life changing healing.

About this title

From the Inside Flap:

Life is difficult. Life for every person on earth is a challenging journey – with or without God. Those who invite God to join them on this adventure believe that when bad things happen they can trust God to be present and work on their behalf.

But because we never know when, where, or how God is going to show up, we often wonder: Just exactly how does He go about the business of helping us when we don’t know what to do?

Henry Cloud and John Townsend believe God has given us instructions on how He makes a way for us when we call on Him. They believe that, just as you would exercise faith in a doctor by following his advice to get well physically, if you follow God’s eight principles in this book, you can thrive relationally, emotionally, and spiritually.

These principles offer a groundbreaking new approach to recognizing when God is present and how He works His will in our lives.THE PRINCIPLES OF THE WAY

- Begin your journey with God

- Choose your traveling companions wisely

- Place high value on wisdom

- Leave your baggage behind

- Own your faults and weaknesses

- Embrace problems as gifts

- Take life as it comes

- Love God with all you are

As clinical psychologists, the authors deal daily with real people facing real problems, so this book is not just psychological or biblical theory: In fact, Part II of God Will Make a Way shows the principles at work in twelve key areas of life: dating, marriage, sex, conflict, parenting, fear, lost love, addictions, anger, depression, weight loss, and personal goals.

God Will Make a Way is more than a remarkably helpful book. It is a life system that captures God’s wisdom for coping with our most difficult problems.
